November - Farook

WC 2nd November

What a start to the term!

We have dived straight into our new learning and have already enjoyed exploring some exciting new books and topics.

In English, we began our work on Cloud Tea Monkeys by becoming tea tasters! The children sampled different tea blends and used expanded noun phrases to describe the aromas, flavours and textures they experienced.

In Maths, we have started our new addition and subtraction unit and have been incredibly proud of the children's success with column addition.

In Personal Development and Wellbeing, we have been exploring the Hindu Dharma worldview. We learned about Brahman, the supreme being, and why the Aum symbol is considered sacred by many Hindus. The children explored the belief that a spark of Brahman, known as atman, exists in everyone and everything. To help us understand this concept, we dissolved salt into water and observed that although we could no longer see it, it was still there, just as many Hindus believe atman is present within all living things.
On Friday, Mrs Francis took her morning group to the Remembrance Service at Rock Park. The children represented our school wonderfully, showing great respect throughout the event. We were incredibly proud of them and the maturity they demonstrated.
